Permanent right umbilical vein refers to a variant of fetal anatomy found during labor and delivery examination. In most cases, it has no obvious effect on the fetus, while a small percentage of cases are associated with other anatomical anomalies.
Under normal growth and development of the fetus, the right umbilical vein will degenerate, if it does not degenerate, it is a permanent right umbilical vein. When this condition is found, it is necessary to go to the hospital for physical examination on time, most of the cases will not cause fetal anomalies, and a small portion of them may be combined with other anatomical abnormalities, such as hydrocephalus, etc., and if there are no other pathological changes, there is no need to be overly worried.
Pregnant women who have a permanent right umbilical vein during their labor and delivery examination need to go to the hospital in time for adequate pregnancy checkups to ensure that the fetus grows and develops normally so as to avoid any adverse effects.
